Star Desh to launch on 1st January?

The news of Star One revamping into Star Desh is making rounds these days and we hear that its launch got delayed due to some unavoidable issues.

A source from the industry informs, "The launch of the channel was slotted to go on air by the end of October during Diwali but it got delayed due to which the shoots of all the shows gearing up on the revamped channel have taken a halt. New producers have got a a large time span and an opportunity to make their new projects ready for the channel. The production houses are waiting to hear from the channel to start with their shootings. Few more production houses are coming up with new series for the same channel. Therefore the channel is deciding to launch either in end of December of by 1st of January next year."

Rajita Sharma who is making a magical show for Star Desh asserts, "Our show is not getting delayed but the channel is and we are all set to shoot. As soon as we get a call from the channel we will start shooting for the show."

Aditi Tailang who will be seen in Chota Ganpati's show Khel Khel Mein on Star Desh too cited the same reason for the delay.

A new channel in the New Year will definitely bring some new luck for the channel...
